If they only recorded a couple of covers on Studio A part...

Bruce at 1:44:42: "That's it, I'm gone!"

I totally agree with that. Just imagine someone declaring early on that the tour would comprise 3 years and Maiden would not play Infinite Dreams. You would say "impossible!"

I don't know when that was, but nowadays I suppose he would do it to avoid smudging his lipstick

It happened at the end of 1987 in Plymouth. From this unusual gig, manager Rod Smallwood chose a couple of songs for Maiden to record the new versions of "Prowler" and "Charlotte the Harlot" for the next single. The doc I have containing info from those secret gigs, say this about Plymouth...

Is that the whole picture?

In 1980 Paul gave his first version of the "explanation", stating that the song is about giving up everything. Just that, which really explains nothing. At this point the fans will accept what he says but will fail to make any connections. Some decades later he attached his grandfather story in...

Hi Garcia, reading your comment in a post about the Different World single, I assume you have the digital version containing the live version of the song + interview with Harris. Are you up for a trade? I can even pay for those tracks, no problem. I'm looking forward to complete my collection...

I think you're absolutely right. The number never had an official name so it was wrongly titled by a bootlegger. Plus, that bit was never actually played by The Entire Population of Hackney. "Silver and Gold" song had a long intro and that was what Adrian brought to Maiden on SIT Tour.

Nice find. I believe it was one of the Convention Tour shows Nicko did on October 2001 along with tribute band Hi-On Maiden. Here, a picture of the flyer...

Never heard anything about Clive's picking up a guitar, keyboards or even going for backing vocals. So i can talk fearless that he only contributed with drums/percussion. However... behind the Iron curtains there's always that glove waving the possibility of Maiden giving more credit to a member...

Yes Jenkin's Barn is a joke. And I expected people to come and talk on IMPub about this, because it's a debatable track list I did. In these days the most you see on FB are "likes" and no one questioning... I disagree about Purkis. According to him it was his idea to have an intro on the...

Somebody tell the press about this other gig by the supersecretnonamepowerhouse Adrian Smith group. May they display it on an outdoor next to you! Fans hungry for more information about the group surely can wait until the end of this year to something to happen soon! (oh the irony...)

Some may find strange that Smiler refused to do Burning Ambition because of the alleged time changes. At the time Steve had expanded the song to something like a 8-min rock prog, so they were not exagerating in not wanting to play that!
